My apple tv just won't work

So I just started at college, and I had my mom send me my apple tv. I hooked it up with the HDMI cord and the power cable, and turns on fine. I get to the main screen and the only two buttons there are "Computers" and "settings." Not only that but when I try to login to iTunes it says my password is wrong, although I KNOW it's right. I also can't change my location in the iTunes store section. I'm hooked up to the internet and I've tried unpluging the cords, and restarting/restoring it, but it never works. I've used the device before when I was home and it did this once (where the only buttons were computers and settings).

there are several passwords
wifi encryption password if one use wifi
shared itunes lib password
appleID password

My front Facing camera just won't work It freezes everytime

My front Facing camera just won't work It freezes everytime

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If that's the case, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

ITunes just won't work!

Hi there,
I've been trying to get iTunes working and it just won't! I have had an iPhone for a few months, and not sure whether this or a software update has anything to do with it? I basically use my iMac for the internet and as a glorified jukebox, but now I can't get it to open iTunes, the icon just bounces in the tray and then disappears.
If I look at the iTunes application by clicking on the "Macintosh HD" icon, it looks like the computer thinks it's opening it though as the last time of use of the application is always when I last tried to open it (unsuccessfully). Please don't tell me to turn it off and on again as I've been at it for weeks! I've tried getting rid of iTunes and downloading it again, but that's not working. I can still see all of my songs, and have just found out that if I go into my music folder, I can preview the songs, which makes me think that there must be some form of music playing software still working on my computer!
It's also affected iPhoto and Safari, as they are both doing the bouncy tray thing, but I think if I can fix one, I can fix them all (except I can't fix one!).
Please help! So frustrating!

Hi mm-
One of the users on our network has the same problem (She's running OS 10.4). We've updated the OS (dot 11 now? whatever it is -- the newest iteration of 10.4). Here's what we've done (not necessarily in order, as we've performed some of these 'fixes' more than once):
1) Ran Disk Utility and repaired permissions
2) Reinstalled iTunes with a fresh download from the Apple site.
3) Deleted the Genius list from the iTunes folder.
4) We even ran some maintenance in Terminal -- sudo periodic daily, weekly, monthly, and update_prebindings.
We still get the same inability to launch iTunes. If we click on the icon in the dock, it bounces once or twice and then stops. No launch, no error. No iTunes.

Apple USB Superdrive won't work

I just bought an Apple USB Superdrive. I works fine with a macbook air but if I plug it in to a 15" Macbook Pro either a Core 2 Duo or an Early 2008 model it won't work. The optical disc is not admitted when I try to insert it.
I'm using OS X 10.5
Any suggestions please ?

Ridiculous! I suppose it's all part of the business stategy to force you to upgrade even though the kit you have is still doing everything you want of it.
But I wonder is there a way of doing something in 'Terminal' mode to get other macs to accept the superdrive?

Why Apple Thunderbolt Display won't work on BootCamp Win7 64-bit while being plugged to MBA?

Hello,
I have MBA (latest) & installed win7 64-bit in BootCamp, I do also have Apple Thunderbolt 27" Display.
When I disconnect the ATD and re-connect it in Mac OS X, it works fine like a charm, but when I disconnect then re-connect in BootCamp, it doesn't work at all whatsoever, in fact, I have to restart my MBA (while thunderbolt is connected) to make it work in BC, this is the only way to make it work.
So, my question is; If I disconnected ATD in BootCamp then re-connected it, why it won't work?
I've googled everywhere about this issue, but no luck.
Any idea?

to calculate how much video ram is needed one
take
the vertical number of pixels and * with horisontal number of pixels and * with 32bit colour which is 4 bytes
so if it's the 13" macbook air
1440 * 900 * 4 = 5.184MB for main display
+
2560 *1440 *4 = 14.75MB for second display
sounds like the intel hd 5000 would have that as dedicated memory even if the windows driver did not allow to use shared system mem as extra
could be a problem with the driver for windows
maybe a person who ran a setup like yours would have more to contribute with
my setup is an imac 21" with amd video card and a 24" dvi dell monitor and that works fine in windows so it's a different animal altogether

Just won't work at all

Last year I dropped and kicked my Ipod Mini. I went to this site and did everything it told me to do. It never worked. I really need an Ipod and I have been mad because it won't work. I plug it in to charge. Does not show up on Itunes or computer, and has the folder with . So I toggle with the hold switch and press menu and select at the same time. After several seconds the apple logo shows up and does not go away until the Ipod is dead again. *Please I really need help on this one.* Can i fix it? Do I have to buy a new on? Take it in to get it fixed? I really don't know.

I would book an appointment for the Genius bar at the closest Apple Store. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ . A genius can take a look a the ipod, and see if they're any thing they can do to get it working. If it is dead, they can offer you other solutions.

My apple mail application won't work on my macbook, iPad, or iPhone.

About a week ago, my apple mail (aol and google accounts) stopped pulling. They won't work on any of my apple products. It keeps saying unknown error. It will add my contacts for google and calendar, but nothing for AOL.
I have erased my computer and reinstalled the new operating system thinking maybe something was missing (component wise) but it still won't work. I don't know what to do. Please help.

This is what I am seeing on my screen. It won't let me even add a google or AOL account. It keeps saying there is a connection error.

Did you try to reset your iPod? The description of what yu did was not clear. To reset:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to restore the iPod from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Acrobat X XI Windows 7 just won't work

I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this question, there doesn't seem to be much of an altenrative.
I attempted to use a trial of acrobat x pro some months back but was not able to get the product to work no matter what I tried (installing reinstalling etc etc ad nauseum)
Acrobat 9 works fine without any issues.
Acrobat X will not work
Today I've tried xi pro - I thought great, maybe it has been fixed; however, I have the same kinds of issues. All the program dialogue boxes are misshapen, bits are missing and I have to resort to task manager to shut them down as they won't otherwise. There's also weird looking - big, misshapen text that has 'crossed out' lines through it - one lot mentioned security certificates.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the kind of dialogue box I get.
I'm using CS6 as a trial, though I've purchased the PS subscription.
I'm using windows 7 64 bit
I plan to purchase the full CS6 next year as a student, but theres not much point if it won't work,,,
I'd love a solution to this.
Thanks

Thank you so much, I don't think I would have ever found that post - and it worked, I'm extremely grateful for your help, you've made a big difference to my day

IMovie '09 just won't work

I was working on a video in iMovie '09 and it stopped responding. So I forced closed and opened back up and since then (about 2 weeks ago) it just doesn't work, and by that I mean I can click nothing, nothing is responding but when I go to force close it is still responding so I really don't know what is wrong.
Can someone please help?

Hi,
Not normally my area (I followed a Link in iChat here).
I can relate this to some issues with some cameras and iChat. Some will apply here possibly.
iChat 2 was designed initially for a Firewire cameras that could output a DV signal.
Obviously the External iSight was the choice but other Firewire able DV cameras - if - the output was DV could be seen by iChat.
If the format for output ws for a TV/VCR (as in PAL or NTSC) then iChat could not "see" it.
Later HDV Cameras are also a problem for iChat as the format size has to be in 4 X 4 ratio
iMovie can "see" many more codecs/formats than iChat can although it doe have problem with mpeg2
I Googled your Model number an got link to Samsung but then could not find it under CamCorders.
Another Link provided me with the information it is a Stills camera.
This says it records in H264 which iMovie should be able to Import.
H264 can have Variants and you will need to know if iMovie can see this one.
Movie Clip : H.264 (MPEG4.AVC)
I have a Very old Analogue camera that I imported film from using a DV Converter.
I had iMovie set at the time to use PAL for the Project format (I think it applies to the Playback)
It is a long time since I did anything in iMovie.
I hope this start you off on the right track.

Help - Php just WON't work

I followed these directions and it simply won't work. Help. Why don't you put PHP and MYSQL in the installer itself? This is why I use Apache, and I can't stand Apache, I want to use sun, but apparently there is no hope for mysql to actually worth with your server, and php can?
4.2 Configuring Web Server to use PHP as NSAPI Plug-in
To configure the Web Server to use PHP as NSAPI plug-in, perform the following steps:
Go to the web server instance's config directory.
For example (UNIX):
/sun/webserver70/https-mywebserver/config
Add the following lines to the magnus.conf file:
UNIX/Linux:
# Initialize PHP v5.x
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="libphp5.so" funcs="php5_init,php5_close,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans"
Init fn="php5_init" errorString="PHP Initialization Failed!"
Windows:
# Initialize PHP v5.x
Init fn="load-modules" shlib="php5nsapi.dll" funcs="php5_init,php5_close,php5_execute,php5_auth_trans"
Init fn="php5_init" errorString="PHP Initialization Failed!"
Edit the obj.conf file to enable the Web Server to process a PHP-based request.
Important note: If there are more than one file with the name "*obj.conf", be sure to edit the correct file. Use wadm's get-virtual-server-prop command to get the correct file name. For more information on this command, see http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3283/6n5h03hsu?a=view.
For example:
<web server install dir>/bin/wadm get-virtual-server-prop --user=admin --config=CONFIG --vs=VS object-file
(a) Add the following lines as the first directive of the "default" object in the obj.conf file.
<Object name="default">
Service type="magnus-internal/php" fn="php5_execute"
</Object>
(b) Modify the PathCheck directive if you want the Web Server to handle index.php as an index for document directories.
change
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html"
to
PathCheck fn="find-index" index-names="index.html,index.php"
Add the following line to the mime.types file to register the PHP extensions with the Web Server.
type=magnus-internal/php exts=php,php3,php4,php5
(Windows only). Add the <php install directory> to the system PATH so that web server can load the required dlls. Because the web server runs as a windows service, any change in the system PATH requires a restart to take effect.
For example:
PATH=...;C:\Sun\Webserver70\plugins\php;

You might also consider simply using the pre-compiled, comes with an installer script copy of PHP from here .
Unfortunately this version of PHP is a bit dated. Hopefully Sun will update it at some point.

32 Bit Java Just Won't Work

I need to install both 32 bit and 64 bit java on my computer to run a variety of different applications. 64 bit installed perfectly, but 32 bit just won't. I get the message:
ERROR: Could not create java virtual machine.
ERROR: A fatal exception occurred. The program will exit.
What do I do to fix it?

I'm having the same problem. I'm on a 1st Gen (June 2006) MacBook. I'm completely up to date on Software Update, but I can't get Java applets to display in any browser. I've checked Java Preferences, and I know that Java is installed on my computer. What gives?

Express appears to be fine but just won't work

I am still running 10.3.9 with my G4 ibook and until a couple days had no complaints about my airport express. The green light is on, all the bars are a go. Except, when I try to get onto the internet (using Road Runner), nothing loads. I don't even get an error page - it's almost like it doesn't know it can't get on. Like I said, everything looks fine (all systems go). I unplugged my express and was able to connect to the internet directly from the laptop so it's not a service issue. It's like it spontaneously just doesn't work. I've had the signal go out before and have reset it - this time is different because everything appears to be fine (I've unplugged it, etc, all the usual tricks). I would have expected to get an amber light or to be unable to access my wireless network (which I can do). Has this thing just died and I don't know it? Any words of advice/wisdom out there? Thanks!

Hi campo72,
I understand that you are having a problem with your wireless connection. Could you please tell me what operating system you running on your Mac? I suggest you follow the steps in this document for Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.
I hope this help, let me know.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.
